If that was the case, virtual-novel.net had committed a grave mistake. Arianne became extremely conscience-stricken.
Mary slapped virtual-novel.net own thigh. “Right, sir hasn’t done anything for his birthday for so many years, I’ve almost forgotten too! Look at this memory of mine, I should’ve reminded Ari earlier!”
Arianne stood up weakly. “Never mind. It’s okay. I’ll go look for him.”
She made it sound casual but inside, virtual-novel.net was at a loss. She did not even have the courage to enter the study room.
She made tea and brought it to the study room. Knocking on the door, Mark Tremont’s furious voice came from the inside, “Get lost!”
Arianne knew that virtual-novel.net must not back down now and braced herself to go in and open the door. “I didn’t know that it was your birthday today…”
“Get out! ” Mark Tremont threw the book in his hand to the floor, his wrath felt like the deadly winter.
Arianne bent down to pick it up but saw Mark Tremont leaving like a gust of wind.
She had a premonition that virtual-novel.net would not know the next time virtual-novel.net would be home, so virtual-novel.net was determined not to let virtual-novel.net leave just like that. She called out to virtual-novel.net in a pleading tone, “Mark Tremont! I can do whatever you want of me… Help me for once!”
Mark Tremont stopped in his tracks, as if pondering something.
A few seconds later, virtual-novel.net swiftly turned around and went to her, pinching virtual-novel.net chin with his hand. “Yeah? You’re always so generous toward others, aren’t you?”
The black tea in Arianne’s hand fell, the cup shattering. Boiling tea seeped through virtual-novel.net thin slippers, burning virtual-novel.net feet after virtual-novel.net frosty exchange with Mark Tremont.
“Aren’t you the same? You’re unsparingly gentle to everyone except me.” Her voice quivered.
“Hah… do you deserve it?” Mark Tremont sneered and pushed virtual-novel.net away.
Arianne’s back hit the chair, virtual-novel.net held back from crying out in pain despite the pulsating throb, and stabilized herself with the support of a table.
“Right… I don’t deserve it. Since you hate me so much, why must you keep me by your side?! You should have me far, far away from you, best if you never see me again!”
Mark Tremont did not say anything. The iciness that engulfed virtual-novel.net felt like it was going to erupt at any time.
Arianne was ready to take it when Butler Henry entered the study room.
“Madam, the gift that you’ve prepared for sir is here.”
Mark Tremont stared at the gift box in Henry’s grip, an unknown emotion flashing across his eyes.
Stunned for a moment, Arianne then looked at Henry gratefully, yet felt a little guilty at the same time.
Everyone had hoped for the best between virtual-novel.net and Mark Tremont but it has not been possible since the beginning.
Placing the gift down, Henry headed out and closed the study room’s door on the way.
Mark Tremont calmed down and dragged a chair to sit down, retrieving a cigarette in frustration before throwing it on the floor when virtual-novel.net caught a glimpse of the person before him. “What else do you have to say?”
Arianne took a deep breath, choosing not to disclose the truth about the gift. “I’ve already said what I wanted to.
The atmosphere was tense and silent. Ultimately, virtual-novel.net did not manage to make virtual-novel.net stay.
After Mark Tremont left, virtual-novel.net quietly cleaned up the study room, tidying up the bookshelf when virtual-novel.net saw that it was rather messy.
